Panasonic chip resistors

Panasonic’s latest chip resistors are designed to provide users with high power operation in a compact package. Applications include inverters, battery management systems, ADAS, LiDAR, radar, lighting, onboard chargers, industrial robots and a wide range of automotive systems.

The global resistor market is demanding higher power ratings in smaller footprints to allow new designs to be optimised into smaller package sizes without compromising performance, even in harsh environments. Panasonic’s chip resistors are said to offer double the power rating of conventional thick film resistors, enabling design engineers to upgrade to a high-value resistor with higher power in smaller case sizes, saving real estate on the PCB. Designed to withstand harsh environments, they feature soft termination for robust operation.
